YES! Thanks very much...I have the issue on my computer and can read it with magnification.

I've been using CO2 tanks for at least 10 years now; the initial cost was around $200 for the regulator and valves, but the recurring cost is around $20-30 a tank. My local dealer takes in the empty

Bill, Is Monon 1 the car in which you are interested? I have a copy of the ad from the NMRA, but it is too faint and small to copy. The original ran in the September 1948

Looking to buy one of these cars. If anyone is breaking up a four pack and has one to sell please contact me off list @ OandLE@... Thanks! Bob Weston

I'm looking for an ad that had a boxcar and listing of all the places traveled and commodities carried in a single year. I know I've seen it in a couple of different places and it might have been an

OK - before this gets too out of control, I would like to point out that if you get a CO2 system, you can also use if to dispense beer from kegs, as I do, which is a serious plus!

I would like to add to this conversation about the use of CO2, a recognized greenhouse gas which is increasing in concentration in the Earth's atmosphere. The use of CO2 would seem reflexively to be

I'm also wondering where the 3000 PSI came from. Doing a little research on what threads are used for CO2, I find that carbon dioxide goes liquid in the tank, and that limits the pressure to around

Lester, since we know each other personally, and are local to one another, may I start an offshoot of this thread with you. And I seem to recall you had a background of dealing with numbers so....

If my original post had been read fully, including the post I quoted, one might have noticed that I was referring to the use of a Harbor Freight regulator on the full tank pressure. No where did I

lol - yeah I'd guess that 3000 psi is well beyond the "crushstrength" of the average HO scale model. assuming you could even hold onto theairbrush, hoping it didn't impale itself in your chest... Tim

Mike I suspect that the trucks on that car are replacements for the originals. The NYC cars had trucks with integral plain bearing journal boxes when they were built and were later converted to

I use diving air. It's dry and filtered. In addition, the air is contained in diving tanks that are no longer in use by divers but they have to be hydro tested every five years. The tank has two

I always thought that nitrogen was the gas to use if airbrushing? Too costly? -- Jon MillerFor me time stopped in 1941Digitrax Chief/Zephyr systems, JMRI UserNMRA Life member

Ben, While Chuck may have overstated the pressure by about 3 fold, the internal pressure of the tank and therefore the pressure seen on the high pressure side of the regulator is about 800-1100 psi…

Different people have different priorities. Personally I would not want to risk putting 3000 PSI on the cheapest possible product. Chuck Peck in FL
